New Saddle




So, as you can see from the first two pictures, I've come to realize that my saddle (of 8 years) does not fit my rather large Quarter Horse! So, I set out to find out as much about saddle fit and saddle trees, riggings, etc as possible. The saddle maker at Grizzly Saddlery, here in Great Falls was a great help and patiently answered my qustions. So, I decided to begin looking at saddles, their pricing, and other information. Well, Odin and I were in Missoula this weekend and I found a used saddle that had all the specifications Rio and I needed, for a good price. So, I went out on a limb and bought it. It fits him well (as seen in the 3rd pic) and it is comfortably broke in already! I'll keep you posted on how it all goes! :o)
